Chapter 195 Forced Marriage Proposal
Xiao Yichen didn't know how he got out of the bar.
He was supported by one hand and appeared outside the bar in a daze.
Elder Li, covered in blood, was carried out by two people.
"How could this be?" The three disciples of the Yin-Yang Sect came out with grim faces, staring at the ground in shock.
Elder Li brought more than ten disciples, but apart from the three of them, the rest who remained outside became corpses lying on the ground.
The three quickly realized that they had been deliberately left behind to clean up the mess, and they were terrified.
Elder Li is now seriously injured, the young master of the Heavenly King Palace looks like he's about to die, and the three henchmen are completely at a loss.
"Let's go back to Yin Yang Sect first," one of them suggested.
The three quickly found a car, picked up Xiao Yichen and Elder Li, and headed towards the Yin Yang Sect's mountain gate.
The car drove straight out of Jiang City and headed up the mountain outside the city.
The bumpy ride gradually brought Xiao Yichen back to his senses.
He was no longer so dejected, but his face was still ugly and remained cold.
The Yin-Yang Gate is located on the mountaintop, reminiscent of a secluded sect from a story.
"Quickly, quickly... carry Elder Li inside!" The three shouted as soon as they got out of the car.
"Notify the other two elders and all senior members to attend a meeting in the council hall," Xiao Yichen said in a deep voice.
A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Yichen sat in the head seat of the Yin Yang Sect's council hall, where almost all of the sect's top leaders were present.
"Why is your sect leader nowhere to be seen?" he asked unhappily.
"The sect leader has gone down the mountain to take on disciples; he'll be back tomorrow," someone replied.
"What on earth happened!" Two old men rushed in, shouting anxiously.
Upon seeing Xiao Yichen, the two quickly bowed.
They are the other two of the three elders of the Yin-Yang Sect.
"Young Master, why did Elder Li return in such a state after going down the mountain with you? What exactly happened down the mountain?" The two were finding it difficult to remain calm.
Within Jiang City, the three elders of the Yin-Yang Sect are practically the pinnacle of martial arts, with only the patriarchs of the Zhong and Xiao families comparable to them.
Nothing in Jiang City could have injured Elder Li so badly.
"We've encountered a master from the Underworld Palace," Xiao Yichen said in a deep voice.
"What? The Underworld Palace!" The two of them paled upon hearing this.
"Didn't the Underworld Palace... abandon Jiang City a long time ago? Could it be..." Fear was evident on their faces.
The Yin-Yang Sect rose to prominence thanks to a secret manual bestowed by the Underworld Palace, and was once affiliated with the Underworld Palace.
However, the rules of the Underworld Palace are too rigid, insisting on chivalrous spirit. For the sake of profit, the Yin-Yang Sect violated its doctrines long ago.
They sought refuge with the Heavenly King Palace because they feared that the Underworld Palace might hold them accountable one day.
The two now suspected that the people from the Underworld Palace had appeared in Jiang City to deal with them, and they couldn't help but feel uneasy.
"What's the panic? It's just the Underworld Palace. With my Heavenly King Palace here, can't we protect you?" Xiao Yichen said coldly.
"The Underworld Palace will not tolerate traitors. Now, you have no choice but to obey me, young master."
The two men, their faces ashen, could only bow to Xiao Yichen to show their loyalty.
"Gather all the power of the Yin-Yang Sect, ready to be deployed at any time," Xiao Yichen said.
"This time, I, the young master, will mobilize half of the ten great generals of the Heavenly King Palace, half of the seventy-two fiends, and countless vassals to launch the battle that marks the birth of the Heavenly King Palace!"
"The battle was earth-shattering, shocking the entire Xia Kingdom!!"
……
When Xiao Chen walked out of the bar, it was already dawn.
I drank a bit too much yesterday, so I just slept in a bar for the night.
Just as I was leaving, the security bureau arrived to seal off the place.
"Mr. Xiao, we've finally found you! The patriarch ordered me to invite you to give the old man another check-up," a man said as he ran up to Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen glanced at them and recognized them as members of the Zhong family.
"Let's go." Xiao Chen nodded.
More than forty minutes later, Xiao Chen arrived outside the Zhong family's house.
The head of the Zhong family personally led the Zhong family members to greet them.
Miss Zhong Ling of the Zhong family was also among them. She kept looking behind Xiao Chen, searching for something.
Clearly, she was looking for her idol, Dongfang Ruyi, the third young master of the Martial Alliance.
Three days have passed since Xiao Chen entered the Zhong family. Old Master Zhong's condition has improved significantly, and he is now able to speak.
"Thank you, little miracle doctor, for curing my illness. The Xiao family has found a good seed..." Old Master Zhong said with a smile.
"The old man is recovering very well. He just needs to rest and take care of himself," Xiao Chen said with a faint smile.
After saying that, he got up and left.
"Little miracle doctor, how have you decided on the marriage between our two families?" Old Master Zhong suddenly asked.
"Marriage?" Xiao Chen was taken aback.
"Grandpa, what nonsense are you talking about?" Zhong Ling said, blushing. "I haven't even said I want to marry him yet!"
"Oh dear, what a perfect match! We owe the Xiao family such a huge favor, and we have no way to repay it, so why don't you just offer yourself to them?" Old Master Zhong chuckled.
"Grandpa, you're being indecent!" Zhong Ling said, embarrassed and annoyed.
Xiao Chen raised an eyebrow, ignoring their playful banter, and quietly left the ward.
The talk of marriage was just a joke.
"Mr. Xiao, please have your meal before you go," the head of the Zhong family said, chasing after him.
Just as Xiao Chen was about to refuse, a commotion suddenly broke out outside.
There were people banging gongs and drums, making it quite a lively scene.
Judging from the sound, it seems to be right outside the Zhong family's door.
Then, a servant rushed in.
"Master, the young master of the He family has arrived with generous gifts, saying he wants to propose marriage," a servant reported.
"What? A marriage proposal?" The Zhong family head's face darkened upon hearing this.
"That playboy wants to marry my Zhong family's daughter? Dream on! Tell them to get lost!" He waved his hand unhappily.
The servant acknowledged the order and left.
"This young master from the He family has been pestering Zhong Ling relentlessly, even though she has clearly refused him many times. He's still like a leech," the Zhong family head told Xiao Chen.
“Zhong Ling has many young talents pursuing her, especially the young martial artists in Jiang City, who all regard her as a goddess,” he said meaningfully.
Xiao Chen was unimpressed and prepared to take his leave.
"boom!"
Suddenly there was a noise at the door, as if someone had made a move.
In less than two minutes, a group of people rushed into the Zhong family's courtyard.
The man at the head of the group strode confidently, looking impeccably groomed. Beside him stood a handsome young man with an extraordinary air about him, followed by those who banged gongs and drums, making the courtyard quite noisy.
"How dare you barge into my Zhong family! You have some nerve!" The Zhong family head's face turned cold.
Zhong Ling and other members of the Zhong family also came from behind.
Upon seeing the young man in the lead, her pretty face instantly fell.
"He Tao, what are you doing? Why are you here again? Have you no shame?" she scolded him rudely.
"I like your temper," He Tao said with a smile, not angry at all.
"Today, I've come to propose marriage," he said solemnly. "With the Yin-Yang Sect acting as matchmaker, marrying Miss Zhong would be a good way to bring good fortune to the Zhong family, a double celebration."
"Yin Yang Sect!"
Upon hearing this, the Zhong family members' expressions all changed.
